We’re a month away from the long-anticipated premiere of Survivor 50, and it’s starting to look like two players have almost no shot at winning. On an island filled with previous winners and some legendary players widely considered among the best in the game’s history, it looks like everyone’s collective focus is actually on the unknown. More specifically, it’s on Savannah and Rizo from Survivor 49 because they’re determined not to repeat the mistakes of Heroes Vs Villains.
Widely considered one of, if not the greatest seasons in Survivor history, Heroes Vs Villains featured one cast member, Russell Hantz, who had just filmed the prior season and was completely unknown to the players. They wound up being blindsided by his hyper-aggressive gameplay as he steamrolled his way to Final Tribal Council. Many of the castaways from the season later said they would have eliminated him immediately if they had been able to watch his season.
